4: having a plurality o -ojgreungs may UG, una d@ 0l @mii/fing @im ugh are? Shown in yzfcueting ianges 5 on th@ sides pf the box,

tapped boring 33 in which is screwed theA contact with and being supported upon the l strips 7 thereby closing the circuit through 'the coil 23.

. With my. improved device constructed as herein set forth a very convenient electrically heated device is provided which does away entirely with the inconvenience ocarrying the feed vvires up through the handle and which Jforms a very simple and convenient portable soldering implement, the stand 2 serving also as a box in which the tool can be placed when being carried from place to place.

As shown particularly in Figs. l and 3 a simplearrangcment of the contact members is provided which enables a pair of irons to be heated at the same. time.

TWhen used as a portable device a cover indicated in dotted lines at il0 may be placed over the box after the tools have been placed therein and a strap shown in'dotted lines 4i may be passed therearound and attached thereto by the cleats 42 to enable the device to be conveniently carried.

What I claim is as follows:

l.- An electrically heated soldering tool comprising a core, a soldering tip carried thereby, a heating coil wound upon such core means insulating such coil from the core, a pair of laterally projecting posts connected to opposite ends of such coil, and adapted to serve as contactmenibers through which electric current is supplied to the coil, and means insulating such posts from the said core. y

2. Anelectrically heating soldering tool comprising a core circular in cross section and having laterally formed integrally therewith upon opposite ends'thereof, a soldering tip carried thereby, a heating coil Wound upon such core between tlie said fianges,lmeans insulating the coil from the core, a pair of laterally pro- I jecting posts connected to opposite ends of such coil and adapted to serve as contact which electric current is such core projecting anges.

supplied to such coil, means insulating such posts from the core, a heat resisting cover for the coil, and alcasing surrounding such covering and overla ping at its ends the fianges on the ends o the core. 3. An electrically heated soldering tool comprising a core circular in cross section, being formed at ,opposite ends t'vi'th `'axially extending recesses one of such 'recesses being tapped, a handle having its shank threaded into the tapped recess, a soldering bolt fitting tightly into the other recess, a heating coil wound upon such core, means insulating such coilfrom the core, a pair` of laterally projecting postsconnected to opposite ends of such coil and adapted to serve as contact members through which electric current is su plied tothe coil, and means insulating suc posts from the said core.

4. In a device of the class specified, in combination a soldering tool having a heating coil and a pair of contact posts connected to opposite ends thereof and: projecting from the tool, a stand for such tool such stand comprising abox having a top provided With openings, adapted to receive the said contact posts, a pair of contact members located below such top and adjacent the said openings, and means for supplying' electric current to such contact strips.

5. As a means for simultaneously electrically heating a plurality of soldering tools each having a heating coil and apair olf contact posts, a stand having an asbestos top rovided with a vplurality of airs of openings, a air'of contact strips ocated on the undersi e of the top and extending across the'corresponding openings of-each pair and adapted to have the posts of heating tool -rest thereon and means for supplying electric current through such strips to the said coil.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in'the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
